Rangers remain on the hunt for their next manager after Steven Gerrard turned them down and Paul Scholes has hinted at Ole Gunnar Solskjaer being in the frame for the role\"PaulPaul Scholes has dropped a hint on the next Rangers boss(Image: The Good, The Bad & The Football)<\/p>\n

Paul Scholes looks to have hinted that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> has held meetings with Rangers over becoming their next manager, but refused to name the ex-Manchester United<\/a> boss specifically.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian is yet to be linked with the vacancy at Ibrox, but has been out of work since he was shown the door at Besiktas. His last job on the British Isles was with United, who eventually sacked him in November 2021 after nearly three years at the helm.<\/p>\n

Rangers sacked Russell Martin after just 123 days<\/a> in the role with the Scottish side winning just one of their first seven league games to leave them 11 points off top spot. Steven Gerrard<\/a> was the ideal candidate to take charge, but talks failed to result in him being named their next manager.<\/p>\n

Attention will now turn elsewhere and whilst Scholes did not name Solskjaer, his fellow Class of 92′ star Nicky Butt was able to work out who the mystery contender might be with a host of questions.<\/p>\n

Speaking on The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast<\/a>, Scholes said: “I was actually with a lad the other night who told me he was actually going to meet Rangers. I\u2019m not sure if he did but his name\u2019s not been mentioned. I think he told me in confidence so I\u2019m not going to tell you. I don\u2019t think he was going for it. They contacted him and he was going to meet him in London the day after.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-host Paddy McGuinness<\/a> asked if it was a manager currently in a job, to which Scholes replied: \u201cNo.\u201d Butt then asked whether it was a former United boss, Scholes said: \u201cNo comment.”<\/p>\n

Butt sarcastically said: “Did he score the winner in the Champions League<\/a> final.” Scholes replied again with a simple no comment, but no denial.<\/p>\n

Butt then named him and said: \u201c[It\u2019s] Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] you\u2019re talking about, aren\u2019t you?\u201d Scholes simply took a drink from his mug of tea and again said: \u201cNo, no comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Solskjaer’s stint in Manchester resulted in mixed reviews. He initially steadied the ship at Old Trafford after taking over from Jose Mourinho<\/a>. He remains one of just two men who managed to take the Red Devils to second in the Premier League<\/a>, but during his tenure he was dealt some heavy defeats and faced accusations of his lack of style.<\/p>\n

Rangers are also thought to be considering Michael Carrick, who was Solskjaer’s assistant in Manchester. Former Sheffield Wednesday boss Rohl has also impressed Ibrox bosses during the process and remains in the hunt for the job. He has been out of work since leaving the Owls in July and was contacted by Rangers in the summer before they ultimately decided to appoint Martin.<\/p>\n
